This replication package reproduces the results for the paper "Family Planning and Children's
 Human Capital: Experimental Evidence from Urban Malawi"

This folder contains 5 .do files that replicate the tables throughout the paper and a folder
that contains 2 .dta files; one at the child level and one at the woman level. 

To run each file, simply open the .do file and hit run. The outputs of each file will be placed in the 
"Results" folder. 

The .do files are as follows: 
	1. Descriptives - Tables 1 & 5 & A1 - A3: 
		This .do file replicates the baseline balance, attrition, and fertility preference tables
		presented in the paper. Table 1 presents results at 2 different levels and
		is a conglomeration of the output tables "Woman Baseline Balance.xlsx" and "Child Baseline 
		Balance.xlsx". Table 5 contains the results included in results file "FUP1 Attrition Balance.xlsx"
		Table A1 contains results included in the results file
		"Birth Spacing Maternal Balance.xlsx". Table B1 produces results within the window and does not output a file. 
		Table B2 presents the balance of women who are/are not using contraceptives at baseline and outputs
		the file "contraceptive balance table.xlsx" 
		Expected run time: 20 seconds

	2. Main Results - Tables 2-4 & 6 & C1:
		Table 6 in the paper presents the results from the selection model used to create the propensity scores
		"Propensity Scores\First Stage.csv" used throughout the paper and can be found in the file the ITT results 
		of the experiment on Children's outcomes. Tables 2-4 correspond to the output files in the results folder "ITT". 
		The Heckman-style selection results can be found in the folder "Heckman Selection". The results from the IPW models 
		are found in the folder propensity scores. The results from the Kling-Leibman style are found in the folder
		"ITT/Bounds"
		Expected run time: 2 minutes

	3. Mediation Analysis - Tables 7
		This .do file creates results for all the mediation analyses presented in Table 7. It runs 
		results for four potential mediators: subsequent pregnancies, healthcare utilization, contraceptive use, and transport 			uptake. These results are presented in "mediation effects.xlsx"
		Expected run time: 2 hours

	4. Heterogeneous Effects - Table G1
		This .do file creates all the heterogeneous treatment effects presented in Appendix G. These results are
		stored in the output files that begin with "heterogeneous effects".
		Expected run time: 5 seconds

	5. Intervention Components Analysis - Table E1
		This .do files creates the TOT estimates presented in Appendix E. Table B1 corresponds to the output files
		 "HAZ (IV)" and "CREDI Z-Score (IV).
		Expected run time: 15 seconds
